J. p. McNutt, in connection with
his brother, J. NJ, has purchased a
stock OF dry-gOOds ut Greensbnrg,
Kansas, and expects to remove there
| with his family next week. We are
sorry to have "Jim" leave US, and we
commend him to the people of Green's
burg as gentleman in every way
worthy of confidence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. A. BOwlus have
the sympathy of the entire community
in the loss of their youngest child,
Frank, who died last Saturday morn :
ing after lingering and painful ILL
ness. The funeral services were held
Sunday morning at the residence, Rev i.
w. H. HyattOfiiciating, and were very
largely attended.
The Kickapoos will continue to meet
for practice every Monday evening,
and hope to be qualified to give con-
cert in the course Of month or 80.
They are talking of getting uniforms,
but are somewhat at loss what to
adopt. Any suggestions their friends
may have to make in that line will be
duly considered.
An old soldier tells us that he has
just learned why 1t is that the Hum
boldt G.. A. r. Post so often has diff
ficulty in getting quorum. He says
their bylaws require that they shall
meet "the first Saturday night after
each full moon" and now since George
w. has sworn off the boys never know
when to come.
Geo. Shelter suffered the only casu.
atty we heard of on the Fourth. He
was member of the Flambeau Club
and one of the boys threw cannon
fire-cracker which happened to strike
his hand and exploded just as it touch.
ell him. The hand was badly bruised
and burned, but will not be permanent
ly injured.
We hope our friends wont be too
hard on the REGISTER because it rain.
ell Monday. We know it promised
didn't, honest. But it couldn't help it
And then you must remember it rain
ed just as hard on the chinch bugs as
1t did OH us.As hard on the unjust as on
the just.
Up to this date we have not heard of single
person who will be u candidate before the dem
Dcratic convention for any Office .-Democraf.
Up to this date we have not heard of
\ single lamb going up to the butcher
and begging to be slaughtered. But
we never thought there was anything
very strange about it.
II have got 100 acres of the best
corn have ever had in Kansas" was !
the remark we overheard from l.. HI. |
~f nt.Np II tk~t,
week. And the beauty of it is that all |
his neighbors, with slight change
in the number of acres, can rise up and
say "Here too"
Gillihan says he sold 81 gallons of
ice cream on the Fourth, besides bar
rels and barrels of lemonade. As the
other dealers probably did about the
same business, it is fair to conclude |
that there was considerable of crowd |
here and that it was both hungry and
thirsty.
James Starkey of Geneva township,
was arrested on the celebration grounds
for stealing some money and
\ watch from the pockets of a boy who
was in swimming. He plead guilty
before Judge Walters yesterday and
was sentenced to 60 days in the county
Jail.
Owing to the rain the ladies of the
Relief Corps could not collect the pro-
visions that had been promised and so
,ould not serve supper to one in hum
lred who applied. They sold large
mount of ice cream, however, the re-
,eipts about equaling the expenditures.
We are glad to be able to record that
responded to our invitation

With us. Her delegation must have mum.
,ered nearly 800. HonOrs are even now
md the next time you ''set 'em up" we
will be there as usual.
